    The world has changed ever since the COVID-19 lockdown and so has the demand for laptops that enables people to work from home or attend online classes. Whether you are a student or a professional, Microsoft seems to have come out with the perfect laptop that facilitates all of your needs with its lightweight Surface Laptop Go. Microsoft is usually known for making premium consumer products such as the other Surface laptops, but this time around the company has made something for everyone. I’ve been using the Surface Laptop Go for about three weeks for everything including attending calls, writing this review and editing images. Here’s how my experience with the Surface Laptop Go has been:

    The Surface Laptop Go looks like a premium laptop that uses the same design ethos as some of the products from the lineup. However, instead of using premium build materials like Aluminium, the laptop has a plastic chassis that doesn’t feel cheap to the touch. In fact, it is the highest grade of plastic used on the laptop which puts most budget laptops to shame. The Surface Laptop Go comes with a very bright and sharp 12.4-inch display which has a resolution of 1536 x 1024 pixel. The screen does have a smaller 3:2 aspect ratio which is ideal for people who have to read a lot of documents and web pages as part of their daily routine. The screen also supports touch input which adds an additional layer in terms of interaction with certain applications.

    While the display is quite vivid and bright, the screen does have some thick bezels which may not be ideal for watching movies and TV shows, if you are fussy about that. I personally didn’t like the thicker bezels to be honest as it didn’t really bother me while watching videos on the laptop. 

    Coming back to the design, since the Surface Laptop Go is more of a budget offering by Microsoft, there is no keyboard backlighting which was slightly problematic. I understand it was done to keep the cost in check, however during the work from home situation, many people tend to work in the evenings and sometimes late at night. If your work involves a lot of typing like mine, it can get a bit difficult to work since you can’t see which key you are typing on. If you are an experienced typer like me, it will take some time to get used to the key travel and then maybe you can type without looking at the keyboard. However, for people who need that backlighting, this is one caveat you simply cannot ignore.

    Having said that, the typing experience is extremely comfortable where the keys feel snappy and highly superior to some of the recent MacBook devices. The trackpad also has great responsiveness, however I would have liked the surface to be a bit smoother. You can get around that by increasing the trackpad sensitivity but since it is made out of plastic, you can’t really expect it to have the same feel as the aluminium Surface laptops. The laptop also weighs just 1.11 kg which is extremely light for all types of users. You can easily carry the laptop in one hand while you are moving.

    In terms of ports, Microsoft has opted to offer everything you need, albeit its quite limited. Due to the small size of the laptop, there’s one USB-C port, a USB-A port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port. If you are just using the laptop for work and online classes, these ports are more than enough to connect accessories, however I would have still liked to see an additional USB-C Port. The laptop also has a 720p webcam on top of the screen and a fingerprint sensor embedded into the power button. You can use the fingerprint sensor to seamlessly log in to the laptop which is much faster than typing in your password each time. 

    Overall, I really liked the design of the Surface Laptop Go as it doesn’t look cheap and has everything you need for daily workflows. Sure, there could have been backlighting and more ports, but that’s just me nitpicking right now. 
    Performance and Features The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go comes with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor, 8GB/16GB of RAM, and 128/256GB of SSD storage. I have been using the 8GB model for a while and considering the price of the laptop, I wasn’t disappointed one bit. For daily needs such as typing documents, watching movies, streaming music and editing large images, the Surface Laptop Go was a dream to use. There was no form of stutter that I came across and it handled everything I threw at it with ease. However, with multiple browser tabs, photoshop and a few documents open, I did notice the laptop getting a bit warm from the underside which was kind of expected.

    If you are wondering about gaming and video editing, the Surface Laptop Go cannot handle any of these demanding tasks as it was never specifically meant for that. You can also upgrade your RAM and storage in case you ever need to, which is a nice option to have. 

    Due to the size and weight of the laptop, there isn’t a big battery on this laptop to make it last longer than the industry standard. While during my normal work days, which involved music running in the background, editing images and typing out stories, the laptop lasted for about 6-7 hours on a single charge. When attending video calls, the battery life drops a little and lasts about 5-6 hours on a single charge. Overall, the battery life on the Surface Laptop Go is decent enough for professionals and students alike. If you are looking for something more powerful, then I recommend having a look at Apple’s M1 Macbook.

    Finally, for people wondering about benchmark scores, the Surface Laptop scored 1,185 (Single-Core) and Multi-Core (3,390) on Geekbench 5, and 3,410 on PC Mark. For SSD speeds, the 256GB SSD on our review unit had a read speed of 2,007 MB/s and a write speed of 791 MB/s on CrystalDiskMark. All of the benchmarks indicate that this laptop outshines the previous Surface Go and Go 2 laptops by a mile. 

    The Final Say The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go is the perfect companion device for professionals or students that need to get all the basic tasks done. Whether you need to do basic image editing, attend video conferences or watch content, the Surface Laptop Go covers it all. The build quality, display and typing experience on the laptop is superior to most laptops in the same price category. If you are looking to purchase a reliable laptop for your daily tasks, the Surface Laptop Go fits the bill perfectly.

    Combing is a practice we all go through every day but never really pay attention to. While a basic hair care routine is a must, it’s important for men to choose their styling tools carefully as well. 
    Plastic and metal combs tend to create a lot of static which might not seem like a big deal right now. However, it can result in long term damages like brittle hair that can break and fall easily. 
    Your solution to this? We say wooden combs. The massaging action of the wooden comb stimulates the follicles to produce more hair strands, increasing hair growth and producing thicker hair. Wooden combs are strong and durable, often made of bamboo and neem, which are very renewable.
    Still not confused? Here are 3 ways a wooden comb can help you prevent hair loss and make your luscious locks grow.

    How To Take Care Of Your Wooden Combs?Keeping your comb clean is important so make sure to remove your hair after using and store it in a dry place, free from any humidity. 
    To maintain your wooden comb, you can try rubbing linseed, flaxseed or coconut oil and let sit for half an hour until the oil has soaked into the wood. Then gently wipe with a soft cloth.
    Final ThoughtsThere will be often times when you’ll end up combing your hair longer than because wooden combs just feel so good. We also recommend Overnight Hair Mask Treatments For Men Suffering From Hair Loss.

    Hyperpigmentation is a skin trouble a lot of men go through at some point in their lives. If you struggle with dark spots or patches, chances are that it could be hyperpigmentation. Let 2021 be your glow-up year to sort it all out.
    What Is Hyperpigmentation?Hyperpigmentation is essentially discolouration of the skin. Usually, in dark spots or patches, the reasons behind it can be numerous. However, the most common ones are excessive exposure to the sun, some medications in a few cases or even hormones.
    This results in the over-production of melanin (natural skin pigment), leaving the skin unevenly toned.
    Now that you are sure, what you’re suffering from is hyperpigmentation, let’s treat it. Here are 3 ways to get rid of hyperpigmentation.
    How To Treat Hyperpigmentation?__ECOMLOOKS__2632__

    Bottom LineHyperpigmentation is tough. It’s essential to stick to a skincare treatment for at least 3 months for it to show any signs of repair. For sensitive skin, it’s always recommended to do a patch test anytime you’re using a skincare product with active ingredients. 
    Be patient and eventually you’ll see a difference.
